What is your favorite store bought icing to use on sugar cookies?
Courtney says
I LOVE the Betty Crocker Cookie Icing – it fills in the gaps and hardens to look smooth like in the pictures above. It’s great!

My mouth is watering! I love me some holiday sweets! Those cookie drops look good…are those the ones that you put a cookie in a cupcake? Or just bake the cookie in a muffin tin?
Cookies are my favorite and I recently made some Pumpkin Spiced and Sprinkled Cookies that were very holiday-ey. http://www.semihealthnut.blogspot.com/2011/11/semi-healthy-pumpkin-spiced-and.html
Also made some yummy Sugar and Spice and Everything Awesome cookies http://www.semihealthnut.blogspot.com/2011/11/sugar-and-spice-and-everything-awesome.html
Another crowd pleaser is Lemon Doodle Cookies (this post has a link to even MORE cookies) http://semihealthnut.blogspot.com/2011/10/i-heart-cookies-lemon-doodles.html

I haven’t visited your blog in awhile and Im soo glad today is the day I did!!! The Nutella Chocolate Cookies and Chocolate Chip Cups with Almond Frosting are getting added to my list of cookies to make this year! Thank You!
Marty says
My favorite cookie recipe is “White Chocolate Almond Oatmeal Cookies”
http://www.girlmeetswhisk.com/?p=372
I used a recipe I found online and had to sub out ingredients because I didn’t have them and the results were amazing. I’ve now made them at least a dozen times for different occasions. Although I would choose dark chocolate over white any day of the week, these are my weakness!!
Courtney says
Wow, they definitely do sound delicious!
Shannon says
You’re torturing me with these pictures! They all look so good. I am definitely emailing my mother the link to this post, and we’ll do some serious baking for Christmas.
SN- I printed your Turkey & Veggie Soup and guess what?!? We’re having that for dinner sometime next week (probably Monday night)! EEEeeeeeeeeekkk. (Sorry- it looked so good). Thank you for sharing. I’ll let you know how much my family liked it.
Chels R. says
Oh my word those look yummy! I will definitely be adding some of those to my treats list! :)

Yummm!! Those all look incredible! I’m so excited to start getting some baked goods in the mail, from the cookie swap!
A recipe I made not too long ago was this one for peanut butter cookies. I give all the credit to Jessica from “How Sweet it is.” It’s completely her recipe, and I love her for sharing it! :)

dee says
I LOVE THIS POST!! I cannot waaaait to make them ALL. I’m even willing to take another stab at the Mexican wedding cookies (since my first attempt was such a fail!) :) I (and everyone else who knows me!) will have cookie thighs to keep warm this winter..THANK YOU!!
Courtney says
Cookie thighs! LOL :)
Corrie Anne says
Holiday baking is the best!!!!!!!! I made my Grandma’s Coconut Cream Rounds last weekend. They were the best! http://corrieanne.com/2011/11/25/cookie-friday-coconut-cream-rounds/
Courtney says

Val says

Amanda @ Fashionably Plate says
I love your dark chocolate graham bars! I made them last year for Christmas, but instead of pecans I used chopped up pretzels. They turned out to be everyone’s favorite!
Courtney says
That is SUCH a good idea – I think I may have to try that this year! ;)
Charlie says
I reaaallyyyy want to make your glazed apple cookies! They look sooo good!! :)

They look awesome!!

Yum!! I don’t usually make sugar cookies, but those crackled sugar cookies might just make an appearance at my house this year!
Lena @Fit on the Rocks says
I’ve tried something very similar to those Oreo truffles, and they were soooooo good. I’m going to try your recipe and see if it’s similar. Either way, I’m sure it’s going to taste awesome!
Laura@mypurposefullife says
These all look so good! I do not even know where to start as far as baking them. All of them? ;) As usual, thanks for sharing your fabulous dessert recipes. I hope your busy week is going well! I love your little reminder to yourself that more hours=more Christmas money. Ever since you mentioned that yesterday, I am keeping that in my mind too! :)
esmemerrie says
Okay that’s not even fair!! Too many choices! You’re going to make me the hero of my church’s young adults annual cookie exchange! That is, if I decide which type of cookie to make in time to make it to the party! ;)
